Chapter 8: Muscular System

This chapter is divided into three main sections: muscle basics and cellular components, naming of the muscles, and cat muscles with dissection. Be prepared to spend a fair amount of time on this unit.

*As you progress through each body section below, label the corresponding images to help you learn the muscle names. Always refer back to your lab guide to determine which muscles will be on the final lab test. Coloring the muscles as you label may also be a way to remember the names.

Each of the following sections has a blank sheet for printing that can be labeled by looking at the images of that section.
